RAYYAN was the preference of the first starters. Jamie Mott has been aboard for all his jump outs. He's had two this time around and both times on a H10. He's got to be respected if the market comes for him. The French bred filly ALIEN ANGEL is the key to the race. Expectations were high when she debuted early this year. It was suggested she wasn't entirely comfortable inside horses. Again, she draws gate 1. The lead looks up for grabs so perhaps she takes it up. She's trialling well. NIGHT GUARD has jumped out well on a H10 with these blinkers on since a plain run at Pakenham. The Mornington run was good. 1000m was too sharp for WHATITTAKES first go. Expecting him to be suited by the 1300m. DIAMOND MILA, MARINE GRADE and THINKIMACELEBRITY next.
